Trash Collectors Find, Return Valuable Birthday Gift

MEDINA, Ohio — A Medina woman gets quite the surprise when a lost gift is found.

And she has a city worker who was determined to do the right thing to thank.

It was a usual work day for Josh Kerns until the Medina sanitation worker saw something unusual thrown out in the trash.

“Grab the can and as I dumped it, I noticed something purple standing with a bunch of white. And, as we went to the next stop, I kept looking at it. It didn’t look right and I noticed the name Lucy,” Kerns said.

Before the trash got compacted, Kerns took the purple envelope out of the truck.
